OpenAI's report is the first to officially confirm that generative mainstream AI tools are being used for offensive cyber operations. In April, Proofpoint reported that "TA547," also known as "Scully Spider," launched an AI-written PowerShell loader for the "Rhadamanthys" infostealer. HP Wolf researchers recently reported that cybercriminals were using AI tools to write scripts for a multi-step infection chain targeting French users.
